Fight like Hell! (Doom X Overwatch)

chapter 11

Doom slayer/Ryan pov.

Well today didn't go at all like I thought it would. First I kiss some intruder because why the fuck not? Next I go to the workshop so I can get some sorta name tag for me to wear on my armor and got threatened into hanging out with brigette. Yes I know what you're thinking. But your a badass. Well even I have limits. But now I'm on an airship to Ciro Egypt to go after some people who have been transporting illegal objects. Soldier 76 called me over the com system as Brigette and I tried making plans. Before going on the mission I took V.E.G.A. and put him back in my helmet to help me communicate with him easier. "Slayer are you okay? Your vitals are up and down." 'I'm fine and call me Ryan instead so I get use to it.' I thought. "Very well Ryan. What's wrong?" 'Just maybe thinking that we should have left instead of staying.' I heard a light chuckle from the A.I. 'oh what's so funny?' "Oh nothing Ryan." 'Did you get a personality processor from Winston?' I asked rubbing my temples.

"What is it?" I looked up to see soldier.

"Nothing. Just a joke." V.E.G.A. responded for me.

"Well wrap it up we're here." I was a bit taken back. 'Already here? Wow. Uh V.E.G.A. switch the processor off and switch to mind relay.' I said then for some reason felt a pinch on the back of my skull. "Ready to go Ryan?"

"Yeah." I/V.E.G.A. said since he was basically now my translator. I'm not going to explain how it works because I don't know. "Just lead the way and we'll be fine."

"Wait is that V.E.G.A. or you?" He asked as we jumped out of the ship which then flew off. We were on the outskirts of a big town or small city.

"I am. V.E.G.A. is just acting as relay through his voice." I/V.E.G.A. explain as I pulled out my regular combat shotgun with the grenade launcher mod attached.

"Why don't you always use him then?" He asked as we walked into the town with our weapons drawn lazily. "Wouldn't that make talking easier for you?"

"Why don't you eat cake for every single meal of the day?" I/V.E.G.A. asked as an analogy. "But instead of it not being good for the body, it's not good for my neural cortex. When I first tried using V.E.G.A. like that I had a sharp needle shoved into my brain and that was today before going to Brigette." We waded through the crowd of people who stared at me with fear and amazement. I started to notice how so many of the people here looked hungry, thristy, in pain, and tired.

"Oh. Maybe you should talk to Mercy about it." He recommended. "She might be able to help."

"She's already working on a schedule to help me get my voice working again. Besides I didn't save him just to use him as a tool."

"Save him?" 76 asked.

I growled getting a bit angry as I thought of Samuel. My voice getting a bit loud. "He's a copy. I had to destroy the original because of a goddam stupid son of a b- Huh?" I felt a small tug on my arm and I looked down to see a little girl holding a teddy bear.

"You look really cool." The little girl said with big eyes as I/V.E.G.A. let out a small chuckle lowering my voice to a kind tone.

"Thank you." I/V.E.G.A. responded.

"Why are you carrying those guns?" She asked pointing at my shotgun.

"We're here to stop some very bad people." I/V.E.G.A. say kneeling down. She went wide eye with concern. "Have you seen anyone like that?"

"Yes......" she said quietly. I waited for her to say more. "You can't go after them. They'll kill you. They have so many guns and they come here taking all of our food and water." I looked down a bit angry. "They even have a monster on a chain. It looks like it came from the depths of the underworld." She hugged my hugged my arm as I heard a snicker come from shoulder. "It's gigantic! Has red skin! Hoofs! And it's eyes are so terrifying!" She said scared. I go wide eye under my helmet realizing what it was.

"Here let me tell you something kid." She leaned forward. "And you have promise not to tell anyone or they might get scared, okay?" She nodded eagerly. "I'm from the underworld." She looked at me in awe. "That place is filled with monsters." She started to shake. "And you wanna know what I am to those monsters?" She nodded scared. "I'm the one they call the Doom Slayer or Hell Walker because I defeated their leader." She grew a big smile. "And the only way they got even close to stopping me is by dropping a temple taller than the sky on me." She stared in awe. "And now I'm here to stop the monsters here, but I can't do that if I don't know where they are." I held her shoulder. "So i am asking for your help to shoe me where this people and their monster are so no one has to be afraid of them. Will you help me?"
